Overhead seems to be about 4KiB, at least using default ext4 parameters: # zfs create -V 100G -b 4096 tank/test && mkfs.ext4 -v /dev/zvol/tank/test && mount /dev/zvol/tank/tes

This has a large overhead - easily a few kilobytes per file, depending on filesystem. Poor locality - your data gets scattered across entire disk; even on SSD this matters to some extent. And also starts to break down in some ways already a

It's been an open secret for many years that they don't enforce quotas. It's not profitable but google has really deep pockets and can afford to not care. Not sure if they really closed it this time - like I said, I'm st

Isn't the main feature of nosql supposed to be easy horizontal scalability, the exact opposite of storing everything in a single file? If you just need a r/w store for some jsons in a single file, why not sqlite? You can put arbit

Google Workspace is still around $10/month for unlimited. 50TB here and counting, uploaded a few more TBs just this week. Incredible value proposition! Only some limits on traffic, 750GB/day ingress. Works very well with rclone. L

ZFS is a much better option. btrfs still ate my data as recently as 2-3 years ago. The main thing it has going for it is that it's in the kernel tree. If you don't care about that, ZFS is the right choice today. And if you do care

They'll never tell how they use the data for obvious reasons and I also can't go into any details. But any obvious thing you can think of almost certainly has been tried, they've been doing it for 20+ years and ranking alone

https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner works reasonably well for me - at least on motherboards with removable BIOS chips.

I worked in ranking for two major search engines. They all measure this, this is a really low hanging fruit - how much time it took you to come up with this idea? Why do you think so lowly of people who put decades of life into their system

They have been already doing this for a loooong time, it's a low hanging fruit. Take a look sometime at the wealth of data google serp sends back about your interactions with it

Multiple hypothesis testing. This particular attempt seemed to have succeeded. But how many were tried that didn't? If you torture the data long enough it will confess.

Lol. A cheap VPS with 1gbit unmetered link that'll exhaust your daily quota in less than 30s costs, like, couple bucks a month - that's how cheap internet traffic in major datacenters is. Whatever side use you'll find likely

Learn english & programming, get a CS degree, emigrate into the US asap and get a job at FAANG & co. I don't foresee it stopping being a viable recipe for (Fat)FIRE for at least another decade.

If you'd use a column-oriented format like {"col1":["a","b","c",...],"col2":[1,2,3...],...}, it's about the same density, no?

fastmail's limit is "600, plus 15 for every user in the account". And what's wrong with catch-all if you're the only the user? It works pretty much like infinite aliases, they even let me reply from <anything>

Not that important, just make sure you graduate. I never had a company ask for my grades before extending an offer. I was asked a couple of times for transcript for visa paperwork, but doubt any bad grades there would have mattered at that

Same jobs as today. Maybe just AI/ML would become less and less lucrative due to a huge glut of people graduating into it.
